Garnock Blue 319 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Is the big chap proving a point to MW? I know I let everyone down at the piggery, but I will make you play me in the SF..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nosed Babe 21,398 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 If he dances past their defence or scores a screamer, I will be delighted! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Think he's just doing what is expected of every footballer and trying his best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 The Old Firm game is a big occasion and it did seem to get the better of Niko last time round. It's happened to many great players over the years and we shouldn't judge Niko on that 45mins alone. If Niko is on form going on to the Scottish Cup game then of course he should play.

BlueSuedeSambas 56,277 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I still wouldn't play him next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,895 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just wish we had a bit more of his quality in the squad. We looked laboured tonight and toothless in attack. Waghorn doesnt look interested and the subs who came on offered next to nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Bear 411 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 That's him finding fitness tbf. Looking good cream always rises to the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Nope. He's a world class passer, never been denied. However he's still not capable of being acceptably fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 He's getting fitter, that's for sure Technically he's miles ahead of anyone in this country Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,457 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Everybody knows he will stroll games against these types of teams. I wouldn't have confidence in him doing it next weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we changed to a 5 he could sit in behind a lone striker and be effective but the manager won't change. Has to be Holt, Halliday and Windass next week. That being said since he's getting up to match sharpness now his quality is really showing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,932 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 That was a masterclass, his pass rate completion is exceptional, we became a bit ragged after he departed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 The wide pitch at hampden will suit him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 He's had a few fitness concerns however the main issue is the fact we have had him playing alongside the likes of Barton and Rossiter who aren't blessed with pace and energy. As such Niko was doing too much running, playing too deep, chasing back, tiring himself out and when he eventually got on the ball was too fatigued to make any real impact. Playing in a number 10 type role, more advanced, Niko will always thrive. He'll find the pockets of space. All we need to do is find him and find him early. We seemed to do this to good effect, and this has happened in the last few games. If we can get Niko on the ball, in space, in the final third he has that special ability to make something happen. He is a ball player and needs to play high up the park to be a big influence. Having Halliday, Holt, Miller, McKay and Waggy (who all weren't collectively great) buzzing around him makes a massive difference too.......

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Was great tonight, but it was only ICT. Having said that, we looked much worse when he went off. I wouldn't start him next weekend, but would definitely use him as an impact sub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
